While I do not have access to the specific metals you're referring to, I can provide general ways in which metals typically differ in appearance from nonmetals:

  1. Luster: Metals usually have a shiny, reflective surface (metallic luster), while nonmetals tend to have a dull appearance and lack luster.

  2. Color and Texture: Metals often have a silvery or gray color, and can appear smooth or polished, whereas nonmetals can be colorful, transparent, or have a rough texture.

These are two common distinctions in appearance between metals and nonmetals. If there are specific metals mentioned, please provide their names for more tailored answers!
